Chapter 5: Found
Jacob's POV
In the present….
I couldn't believe everything that happened in the past few days. My Nessie had gone missing. We had searched and searched for her for days only to come up empty handed. Then we just happened to go to Charlie's house and he just happens to have a picture of Nessie holding a baby boy. That was my Nessie, I just knew it. As crazy as Carlisle's time travel theory seemed, I just had this strong feeling that it was true.
I had a son. Nessie and I had a son. I didn't know what to make of that. I conceived a son less than a month ago, but because of all the time travel mess he would be physically nine years old? It was all way to weird and confusing.
I wanted to get Nessie back though. Not this future version of her that we were going to meet, but the pregnant one that I made love with a month ago. I wanted to be there with her when she gave birth. I wanted to marry her and raise my son with her. Could I still get my Nessie back?
I looked at the others who all looked deep in thought. I wanted to ask my question about getting Nessie back to this time, but we were already on the plane on our way to Houston and it would sound a bit strange to the surrounding humans for me to ask a question like that.
None of us said a word during the duration of the four hour flight. We were all to consumed in our own thoughts to say anything. I watched the in flight movie that they played but I didn't really pay attention to it. My thoughts were elsewhere.
Soon I could feel the plane descending. I wanted nothing more than to get off this plane already and find my family. I was starting to fidgeting in my seat with all this pent up frustration that I was feeling.
As soon as the plane landed we got off as quickly as possible and went to the car rental section. The whole process of renting two cars took an hour long; way to long in my opinion. They call this good service?
Once we were in the car driving to Nessie's address I finally asked what had been on my mind for hours.
"Carlisle, is there any way that we could bring Nessie back from the past?"
"Yes there is Jacob. We are going to find Diego and he'll bring her back. It's our only hope of getting her back" he said.
"How are we going to find him?" I asked.
"I don't know. He is very hard to find because of his ability, but we will find him. I want my granddaughter back. I want to her son to grow up with us" he said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
I just hoped that it wouldn't take so long to bring her back. Just the thought of missing out on the last ten years of her life made me sad. I wanted her to relieve those years with me by her side. We just had to rescue her from the past, we just had to
It took us a while before we finally found her house. It was completely lonely at the moment. I was surprised by how disappointed that I was. I shouldn't have been this disappointed. After all it was a Friday and it was only 12pm. Chances are that my son was at school and Nessie was at work.
We decided to wait a few hours for them to get back. At one point of group of boys between the ages 11 and 13 walked by. They looked like they were up to no good. They hid in an abandoned house that looked like it had been vacant for years. We never saw them come out.
A couple of hours later a young boy ran around the corner. He had to be only about nine years old. One look and I instantly knew that he was my son. He looked a lot like Nessie. His dominant feature was his brown eyes that he had inherited from his mother and grandmother. His skin was darker than Nessie's but not quite as dark as mine. He had my dark hair color. He was beautiful and he was mine. I felt a sense of pride as I looked at my son.
He looked like he was struggling a lot. One of his arms was in a cast and sling. His pokemon themed backpack dangled off the shoulder of his good arm. All the while he was clutching his private area like he had to pee really badly.
Then out of nowhere those preteen boys appeared in front of him and made him stop.
"Where are you going there Carlisle?!" The leader of the group said. Everyone was now paying full attention to what was happening.
My son's heartbeat and breathing sped up dramatically. His small body trembling greatly.
The boys got closer to him and my son remained rooted to the spot.
"Are you deaf you stupid boy?! I asked you where you were going?!" the group leader screamed before pushing him onto the pavement.
"Oh look the little baby's going to cry" one of the other kids mocked.
"What do you want Ritchie?" my son asked. There was a hint of a southern drawl in his voice.
"What do I want? What I always want of course!" he shouted.
"I give you my lunch everyday and my money to. I don't have anything else" my little boy said.
I was starting to shake with rage now. How dare they bully my son! I needed to calm myself before I accidentally phased and scared them all. I didn't really care about scaring those other kids, but I didn't want to give my own son a heart attack.
Just then that Ritchie kid yanked his backpack off of him and went through it until he found his wallet.
"Oh look you have 20 dollars in here that you didn't tell me about" he said in a threatening tone.
Then he kicked my son.
"Oh look the little baby is wetting himself" one of the other kids said.
Sure enough a dark spot had appeared on his shorts that had not been there before and it kept getting bigger.
"and I hope you didn't tell anyone what really happened to your arm. Or else" he threatened.
"No I didn't! I said it was a skateboarding accident! Please don't hurt me!" my son begged.
That was it. I couldn't contain myself any longer. I threw the door open and slammed it behind me. I didn't care what damage I caused the car.
It was to bad that Carlisle couldn't get off the car and say something to these kids. He could've done something, but that damned sun was shining.
I stormed over there. "Get away from him!" I screamed so loudly that they started wetting themselves in fear.
"Are you deaf?!" I screamed the very words that they had said to my son. " I said get away from him!"
They all ran off in fear.
I looked at the boy who was staring at me in awe.
I helped him up.
"Thank you sir" he said.
"Are you okay? Where are your parents?" I asked.
"My mommy is at work. She won't be back for two more hours. Why?" he asked.
"I think your mom needs to know what happened here" he said.
His eyes went wide with fear.
"No, please don't say anything! They'll hurt me" he said.
"No they won't" I said.
"Yes they will. They do it all the time" he said sadly.
"If we tell someone then they will stop. What's your name kid?' I asked.
"Carlisle" he said. "What's yours sir?"
"Jacob. Carlisle why don't you tell me what really happened to your arm? I have a feeling it wasn't a skateboarding accident" I said in a disgust.
"They hit my arm with a baseball bat and it broke" he said.
I was shaking again and it took my full concentration not to phase right then and there and chase after those boys and rip them into teeny tiny little pieces.
"I will be back in a few hours to check on you and talk to your mom. Okay?" I said once I was sure that I had my temper under control.
"Okay" he said.
I watched as he got his house key out of his backpack and started picking up his stuff. I had to help him.
"I'm impressed you didn't phase Jacob. You showed a lot of restraint" Carlisle said.
"It wasn't easy" I said.
"Why don't we leave and come back in two hours. That way you have time to calm down before you see Nessie" he said.
"Yeah, good idea" I said.
We came back two hours later when it was darker. I could feel my pulse raising in my chest as we all walked to her front door.
I rang the doorbell. It was Nessie who answered the door. My heart stopped as I looked at her.
She had changed. She was no longer the 8/18 year old Nessie that I knew. She had aged and she now looked like a 30 year old. What is going on here?
"Nessie" I said.
"Jacob?" she said in shock and then she fainted right into my arms.
